Rubina Francis won a bronze medal in the women’s 10m air pistol SH1 event with a score of 211.1.
But what makes Rubina’s achievement even more remarkable is the fact that she competed in the SH1 category, which is designed for athletes with significant physical impairments. The SH1 category in shooting involves athletes who have movement affected in their arms, lower trunk, and legs, or have no limbs.

Despite the challenges posed by her physical impairment, Rubina demonstrated remarkable skill and precision to clinch the bronze medal. Her achievement is an inspiration to millions of Indians and a shining example of the power of human spirit.
Narwal’s success also highlights the growing strength of Indian para-shooting and the country’s increasing presence on the global stage. As he continues to break records and win medals, he is paving the way for future generations of Indian para-athletes.
Mona Agarwal won the bronze medal in the women’s 10m air rifle shooting standing SH1 title at the Paralympic Games, securing a final score of 228.7. This victory marks a historic moment for India, as it was the first time the country had a double podium finish in the same event at the Paralympic Games.
The Paris Olympics will be the first time ever that the Opening Ceremony will be held outside of a stadium. The Opening Ceremony is set to be held in the heart of the city along its famed main river, the Seine.
During the Opening Ceremony, a parade of athletes will sail down river Seine upon 94 boats, one for every participating country. The boats will travel 6km sailing past icon- ic landmarks of Paris such as the Louvre and the Notre Dame de Paris. The procession of the athletes will end in front of the Trocadero. Trocadero is across the Seine River from the iconic Eiffel Tower. This is where the remainder of the ceremony will take place.
